This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Surprize by Stride Rite. All opinions are 100% mine.
Are you a Target shopper? If so, I’m sure you can relate when I say that there’s always a reason for a quick Target run. Truth be told, sometimes I visit just so I can check out the dollar spot for all the cute goodies. Once you start, the addiction gets real FAST! No judgment here if you are a dollar spot shopper too. I totally get it. Another reason that I enjoy shopping at our local Target (Burlington) is having Starbucks indoor. I can order my favorite drink, enjoy it, all while shopping around.
As most of you know by now, we recently welcomed our baby boy Josiah King, and boy, he is growing like a weed! He literally outgrew his diapers, clothes, and even his shoes! Obviously, that called for a quick Target visit too. I love shopping there and mind you, I can’t get enough of the infant section. One quick peek, and I want to haul everything away, specifically the Surprize by Stride Rite line. Even Josiah loves the shoes I found for him!
Here’s why I love Surprize by Stride Rite for my baby boy …
- » My fellow moms highly recommend their collection
» DURABILITY – you can expect their shoes to withstand your babies first few excited steps!
» The FIT is absolutely perfect! It’s not too tight, and it’s not loose!
» Rounded toes and traction pads that help reduce falls as well as tumbles
» Memory foam footbed for a comfortable first few steps
» Anti-Stink lining (especially perfect if your little one tends to sweat)
» Flexible outsoles for a perfect fit on every movement
» “most of all” Simple closures that help open up the shoes perfectly, so I don’t have to shove or push Josiah’s feet.
Surprize by Stride Rite at Target
With our baby boy turning 5 months old this coming April 9th, he’s already testing the strength of his legs and knees. Best believe I have been kicked one too many times already while we’re nursing. He sure is very active. So I had to make sure we’re prepared for his first few steps. I’ve looked around and found the Surprize by Stride Rite “Stage 2: First Walker for cruising babies and wobbly walkers” the best choice for his needs. Our main goal for his walking stage is support and comfort with design and style as a plus.
Another thing to highlight is the design choices. Even my hubby who is quite hard to please when it comes to certain style has found the assortment “cute” and “stylish”. In fact, he can’t wait to check out other designs online for when Josiah outgrows the pair we got. That’s right … ONLINE! Surprize by Stride Rite isn’t just available in store. It is also readily available online and can be purchased at Target.com!
Now we’re officially ready to break out Josiah’s motion activity jumper/bouncer. In fact, knowing that Surprize is made by the Stride Rite brand, I can rest easy knowing his feet will be secured and protected.
Ready for your baby’s first few steps? Make sure to check out your local Target or online and head over to the infant section. You’ll find yourself totally engrossed with all the cute goodies offered by Surprize by Stride Rite. Don’t have kids? That’s fine! Make sure to keep in mind that their shoes would make a great gift too!
Hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as we had fun finding the best pair for our little one.
